Two Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers identified as Haq Nawaz and Sajid Hasnain were shot dead when an armed person opened fire at them during clashes with Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) activists in Faisalabad on Monday.

It is said that the killer was the bodyguard of former Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah’s son in law. The former provincial minister had rejected the claims.

Punjab Government has made the decision after the protests that erupted across the country after the killing incident.
